Summary

Reviewers say 'The Haunting of Hill House' is lauded for its emotional depth, compelling performances, and innovative fusion of horror and family drama. It explores themes of grief, guilt, and trauma, using supernatural elements as metaphors. However, some find the pacing slow and overly dramatic, and the finale criticized for being sentimental rather than horrifying. Acting opinions vary, and deviations from the original novel spark debate.

Better every time I watch it

The Haunting of Hill House grabs you like nothing else can. With such a slow burn it tells so much, in so many details, without straight up telling you. This should be the example for future writers on how you should show, and not tell. The horror is some of the best I have ever seen, and the show doesn't even need it. The family drama is some of the most captivating stories I have ever seen, making me feel emotions I didn't know existed. The characters are amazingly outdrawn, and with only 10 episodes you feel like you have known them your entire life. It is about many things in life, and has a powerful message. The fantasy part of the show is so well done...

This has to be the most perfect wrapped up mini-series I have ever seen, and I would recommend it to anyone.

Don't care who you are this will freak you out!!!

I've only started on episode 2, although I'm hooked and freaked right out! The performances from the adults and the younger versions of the adults are very convincing and ropes you into a family that has been screwed over by terror and your along for the ride with them! Enjoy I am

We need more horror like this!

The Haunting of Hill House is HANDS DOWN the best horror series I've ever seen. It's a meditation on death, grief and trauma. It is equal parts scary and engaging. The best character development I've seen in a long time and a huge leap forward for horror. We need more horror like this. It has disturbed me and moved me. It's portrayal of the supernatural as more of a human experience and less of a "poltergeist" type is revolutionary. It, to me, makes more sense to believe in ghosts than I ever thought was possible

Trivia
Robert Kurtzman reveals that up to 30 "Easter egg" ghosts are planted throughout the series. "It was [creator/director Mike Flanagan's] plan from the beginning to set up these kinds of little Easter eggs and see if people could spot them." While working on the primary prosthetic makeup for the show each day, the makeup team would also produce up to four of the "hidden ghosts" as well for Flanagan to pepper in the shadows.

Goofs
Even though Hugh's right hand is severely injured by a fan while staying at Hill House, there is no visible scar on Adult Hugh's hand.

Alternate versions
The DVD and Blu-ray releases feature extended and/or previously unseen scenes in episodes 1 (Steven Sees a Ghost (2018)), 5 (The Bent-Neck Lady (2018)), and 10 (Silence Lay Steadily (2018)). The added material totals approximately: 5 minutes in episode 1; 3 minutes in episode 5; and 4 minutes in episode 10.
